I am not sure but I think that you should not try to write directly to the file system from j2ee. I do not think that your configuration file is used by jboss. Use jboss log4j.xml configuration it works great.

The code from my servlet looks like this: ************************************************************************ **** ********************************************** private void initLogging() throws IOException { PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); InputStream is = session.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("log4j.properties"); Properties prop = new Properties(); prop.load(is); PropertyConfigurator.configure(prop); Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.tclick.agencyManagement.search.SearchParams"); logger.debug("Test"); ************************************************************************ **** *************************************************** My properties file looks like this: ************************************************************************ **** **************************************** # Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to AMS. log4j.logger.com.tclick.agencyManagement.search.SearchParams=DEBUG, AMS log4j.logger.com.tclick.agencyManagement.search.DistributionSystemsSearc h=DE BUG, AMS # AMS is set to be a RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.AMS=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.AMS.File="c:\\agencyManagement.log" log4j.appender.AMS.MaxFileSize=100MB log4j.appender.AMS.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.AMS.MaxBackupIndex=1 # AMS uses PatternLayout. log4j.appender.AMS.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.AMS.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n ************************************************************************ **** ****** The servlet has no problem actually finding the property file. Once I have the property file loaded I have no problems grabbing values from the property file and displaying them using the servlet's PrintWriter. The problem is that the log file never gets created and nothing ever gets written to it. Notice the logger.debug("Test") at the end of the servlet code. That never gets written the specified log file. As an added piece of information, jboss uses log4j for it's internal logging. Does this have an impact on the way I set up my logging? I am fairly new to log4j. My goal is to be able to configure log4j here in the servlet and allow the rest of the webapp code to be able to grab instance of these loggers using the Logger.getLogger(<class>) call.
